Sounds great! Who should we acquire?
LMFAO!!!
LMFAO!!!
Elon == Dad, Zach == Mom.
Elon: "JOHNNY STOP BEING A DUMBASS"
Zach: "Honey, that's such a fair and good question, here's how I would think about it"

Q; Capital raise. Why not do it. Come on, please do it. We want fees! What about an acquisition?
A: Acquisition? Who should we acquire? We aren't aware of any companies to buy. Go away, we aren't raising money.
UPDATE: The analyst also then said, well maybe you should pay down debt. Yeah, that's the ticket, raise money to pay down debt.
Somehow Elon didn't outright say that was the dumbest thing he's heard (and It is pretty dumb!). He fairly politely said that wasn't a very smart thing to do for a growing company.

I love that Zach Kirkhorn is really coming into his own as CFO. He's asserting himself a bit more and brings a great presence to the numbers side of the business. Bright mind.
Can I just reiterate that I love Zach Kirkhorn? He has an uncanny ability both to answer analyst questions in a manner that will sate the analysts, and to bolt onto the end of Musk replying in his signature meandering-but-not-actually-answering manner, to actually answer the question in a manner that will sate them.
He's a major improvement to the professionalism and clarity of these calls.
I also love how Drew and Jerome are both there to jump in as needed. Really feels like a solid group for these calls now.
Edit - @woodisgood beat me to it.

Yeah, Zach has been very impressive on this call
"We are super deep on batteries... suuuper deep... Deep"
lol
Edit: "I think it's going to be a very compelling story we have to tell.. it blows my mind, and I know it..."

Good grief they changed the semi article again.
Now "by the second half of 2020 -- perhaps as early as the end of the second quarter"

Battery: Will need 60 GWh of battery for end of year. Competitors are struggling for batteries. Why aren't you?
A: We anticipated it before anyone else did. Duh. We are also partnering with more suppliers like LG and CATL. We are super deep on cell technology. Super deep. Said that three times. 7 days a week. We know a LOT about battery production. We have a decade plus knowledge about cell/product integration as well.
Q: Sense of impact of Shanghei on costs in Q4
A: we were negative in margin from China cars in Q4. Slightly.

Elon saying the "battery day" content is mind-blowing. also says Maxwell is "an important piece of that puzzle".
Retail investors have put together some of the pieces of the puzzle to Maxwell fitting in. Again...LOL. Very enjoyable earnings call.
Q: Maxwell plans?
Elon: Will talk about this in April. Will blow people's minds. Actually it blows my mind. Retail investors have put together most of the puzzle pieces. The questioner ended by saying he needs to read the blogs more. Too funny.

I take it that Elon saying super deep so many times means they are going to be doing some mining!

These analysts are just vultures.
There should be an immediate ban on all analysts in companies connected with other financial services.
